Auburn AL Roof Pros provides professional skylights in Auburn, AL for residential and commercial properties across the Auburn-Opelika metro area. We install skylights, we repair them properly, and on a good share of the buildings here we will try to talk you out of adding one. That is not modesty about our flashing. It is about who is underneath, and whether they will tell you.
A skylight is a hole in a roof with an excellent frame around it. Done well, with a manufacturer's step and head flashing kit and self-adhered membrane turned up the curb, it will outlast the shingles around it. Done adequately, it will still weep slightly at the head after about a decade, and that is where the local problem starts. The head is always where it starts, and it starts slowly.
A slow head leak announces itself in the ceiling of the room below, gradually. In a house you live in, you notice the first shadow and call somebody. In a rental turning every August, four different residents each see a slightly worse mark, none of them own the building, and the report that finally reaches the owner arrives when the drywall is soft. Four tenancies is four separate chances that nobody says anything.
In an occasional-use property it is worse again, because there is nobody to see any of the four stages. So on rentals and weekend houses our default recommendation is not to add roof glazing at all, and where the client wants daylight in a bathroom or a hallway, a tubular sun tunnel gives most of the light with a sealed, curb-flashed unit and far less to go wrong.
On a house you occupy, install away and we will do it properly: curb-mounted where the slope allows, a deck-mounted unit with the correct flashing kit for the shingle profile where it does not, self-adhered membrane wrapping the curb and lapped correctly under the head flashing, and a light shaft framed and insulated well enough that it never turns into a condensation trap. Flashing kits are profile-specific and we fit the one that matches your shingle.
We also do a fair amount of removal. Fogged sealed units on nineties skylights, cracked acrylic domes, or simply a skylight in the wrong place on a building nobody watches. Taking it out, framing the opening, re-sheathing and shingling across is a clean, permanent job and it is often the right advice even though it sells nothing. Removal is a real service and we are perfectly happy to be paid for it.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — deck surface temperature read before the first bundle is opened, tabs hand-sealed with asphalt cement on shaded winter slopes, batten-strip tarps screwed down through to the rafter line, a vacancy window written into the contract schedule, sections sized so every one is dried in before dark, oversized outlets on gutters nobody is going to clean — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Auburn and nearby communities including Opelika, Phenix City, Smiths Station, Loachapoka.

Materials, equipment and how we do skylights
The difference between skylights that lasts and skylights that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with deck surface temperature read before the first bundle is opened, tabs hand-sealed with asphalt cement on shaded winter slopes, batten-strip tarps screwed down through to the rafter line, a vacancy window written into the contract schedule, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Auburn job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in the Auburn-Opelika metro area means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Auburn Chooses Auburn AL Roof Pros
- ✓We ask when the building empties before we ask what the roof is made of, because in this city that answer moves the sequence, the crew size and the price more than the shingle choice does
- ✓The August turnover week is the one window we will argue you out of, every time, because nine days of hundred-degree decking and a fully booked trade base is the worst combination available to you
- ✓Winter work here is planned, not improvised: we read deck temperature before opening a bundle and hand-seal tabs on shaded slopes as a priced line rather than leaving the strip to luck
- ✓Every report is built to travel to somebody who is not standing there, since a large share of the roofs in this market are owned by an entity in another state and reported on by a resident who is not paying for the repair
The standards behind skylights
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The skylights work we do in Auburn follows published industry standards: NRCA publishes the Roofing Manual, the industry's reference for details and slope minimums, and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association sets the shingle application and ventilation guidance the warranties reference. If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
Every skylights project in Auburn gets the same attention, whether it is a single room or a full commercial job. We show up on schedule, keep the site clean, and stand behind the work — the estimate is free and there is no pressure.
